Cruiser Shielding System

The Klingon Defence Force's cruiser shielding system is the standard shielding system in use on the Empire's cruisers, including the Vor'cha class and the K't'inga class. It provides a comparatively higher ability to "hang in the fight" than the Federation's standard shielding system thanks to a greater ability to dissipate heat and a higher energy input, this does however somewhat retard warp drive performance if the shield is engaged at full whilst at warp.

The cruiser shielding system is also mounted on the Negh'var class, which due to its newer warp core is able to operate with the shield at maximum performance, even whilst at warp with no adverse effects.
